OWNER´S MANUAL
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Do not operate your stove if you smell smoke coming from it. Turn it off, do not unplug, monitor it, and call your dealer.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel, kerosene, charcoal lighter fluid, or similar liquids
to start or “freshen up” a fire in this stove. Keep all such liquids well away from the stove while
in use.
• Never block free airflow through the open vents of the stove.
• Never try to repair or replace any part of the stove unless instructions are given in this Manual.
All other work should be done by a trained technician.
• The stove will not operate during a power outage. If an outage does occur, check the stove for smoke spillage and open a
window if any smoke spills into the room.
• Disconnect the power cord before performing any maintenance or repairs on the stove.
NOTE: Turning the stove “Off” does not disconnect all power from the stove.
• Do not unplug the stove in you suspect a malfunction. Turn the stove off, periodically inspect
it, and call your dealer.
• Keep foreign objects out of the hopper.
• Do not throw this Manual away. This Manual has important operating and maintenance instructions that you will need at
a later time. Always follow the instructions in this Manual.
• Do not place clothing or other flammable items on or near the stove.
• The viewing door must be closed and latched during operation.
• Do not operate the stove if the flame becomes dark and sooty or if the burnpot overfills with pellets. Turn the stove off,
periodically inspect it, and call your dealer.
• Hot while in operation. Keep children, clothing, and furniture away. Contact may cause skin burns. Educate all children of
the danger of a high temperature stove. Young children should be supervised when they are in the same room as the stove.
• If the stove is installed in a room without air conditioning, or in an area where direct sunlight
can shine on the unit, it is possible this can cause the temperature of the stove to rise to operational levels; one of the sensors
could then make the convection fan and/or feed system start on its own. It is recommended that the stove be unplugged
when not in use for extended amounts of time (i.e. during the summer months).
• Contact your local building officials to obtain a permit and information on any installation restrictions or inspections requirements
in your area. Notify your insurance company of this stove as well.
• This unit must be properly i nstalled to prevent the possibility of a house fire. The instructions must be strictly adhered to.
Do not use makeshift methods or compromise in the installation.
• Allow the stove to cool before carrying out any maintenance or cleaning. Ashes must be disposed in a metal container with
a tight lid and placed on a non combustible surface well away from the home structure.
• This stove must be connected to a standard 120V., 60Hz grounded electrical outlet. Do not use an adapter plug or sever
the grounding plug. Do not route the electrical cord under neath, in front of, or over the stove.
• The exhaust system should be checked, at a minimum, at least twice a year for any build up of
soot or creosote.
• The exhaust system must be completely airtight and properly installed. The pellet vent joints must be sealed with RTV 500ºF.
(260ºC.) silicone sealant, or with UL-181-AP foil tape. Fasten with at least 3 screws.
• Your stove requires periodic maintenance and cleaning. Failure to maintain your stove may lead to smoke spillage in your
home.
